Hi there,

is there any limitation of interface which i can choose for capturing?

At the moment we have capturing with 2 WLAN cards, anybody knows if we can 4 card or 6 cards?

Best regards L2C

There are no hardwired limits in Wireshark or libpcap/WinPcap (which it uses for capturing), and there probably aren't any hardwired limits in your OS. The main limit would probably be the performance of your hardware and the software you're using to capture.
